It is Flexrotor Friday. This powerful small tactical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) uncrewed aerial system (UAS) is pioneering next-level ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) and maritime surveillance. Designed for long-endurance missions, Flexrotor acts as a crucial force multiplier for enhanced situational awareness. It’s part of an innovative UAS portfolio that includes the Aliaca and VSR700—all highlights that were on display at MDays! #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible #Flexrotor #UAS #ISTAR

Pure gold and precision. Today marks a truly historic and symbolic milestone in Marseille: the successful reinstallation of the newly restored crown onto the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica. This mission was executed by SAF Hélicoptères using their Airbus H215 Super Puma, an aircraft proudly built in our Marignane facility right next to Marseille. The operation was a complex feat made within minutes thanks to the use of the H215 and SAF’s incredible crew! Massive praise to everyone involved for this incredible achievement! 📸: Delphine Prévôt #FunFriday #H215 #MakingMissionsPossible SAF Hélicoptères

Heads up! The innovative H160 is embarking on its first demo tour in Australia. Follow its journey on Flightradar24: https://lnkd.in/gnC8HZWg #DidYouKnow: The H160’s design reduces environmental and community impact while boosting mission performance. Optimised with Safran Arrano engines, the H160 delivers 18% reduction in fuel burn. It is also certified to fly with a 50% blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Its innovative Blue Edge main rotor blades and canted Fenestron tail rotor cut perceived sound by up to 50% compared to conventional designs. #AirbusHelicopters #H160 #H160DownUnder #MakingMissionsPossible #Australia

The M-Days are in full swing here in Marignane! We're taking you live through the event to see how our helicopters and UAS support our customers in their most demanding and critical missions. #Airbus #Mdays #DefenceAviation #LiveReport #Marignane #Helicopters #UAS

Enhancing the NH90’s capabilities for future battlefields. Here's a look at the expansion of the NH90's operational performance with the integration of Arquimea’s Q-Slam 40 loitering system. The crew initiates the deployment of the Air-Launched Effect (ALE) and takes full control of the loitering system from the helicopter, a technology that helps preserve crews’ protection and enhance firing precision. The ALE provides essential multi-mission functions, covering intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, attack missions, and crucial counter-drone warfare capability, ensuring mission success in complex environments. #NH90 #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible @ARQUIMEA Space, Science and Defense

Airbus has streamlined its small and medium tactical uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) from Survey Copter, Aliaca and Capa-X, into a single comprehensive portfolio that will be managed by Airbus Helicopters. This strategic move establishes a centre of excellence that consolidates a comprehensive UAS portfolio and accelerates the cooperation between drones and helicopters through our HTeaming solution. This optimised offering provides cutting-edge ISTAR capabilities for defence, security, and parapublic missions (e.g., firefighting).

The future of naval operations is here. Our Airbus Flexrotor Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) was recently put through its paces at the REPMUS 2025 exercise. The Flexrotor proved its resilience and multi-mission capability, flying long, over 10-hour missions to provide continuous, critical intelligence to naval partners. It demonstrated seamless integration and reliable operation, even in challenging weather and congested environments. This force multiplier is truly enhancing maritime defence and security. #FlexrotorFriday #AirbusHelicopters #MakingMissionsPossible #WeAreNATO #REPMUS25 #DYNAMICMESSENGER25 #Strongertogether #Innovation #technologies #InnovationNATO #DataExploitation

The future of rotorcraft Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) isn't about replacing people—it's about empowering them. In an industry where safety is paramount, discover how Airbus Helicopters is balancing advanced technology with the irreplaceable human element of judgment, care, and expertise. Maria Aguirre, Head of MRO for Airbus Helicopters in North America, shares why a mechanic's 'gut feeling' and hands-on skills can't be outsourced to a robot or an AI and how we are building a new generation of expert technicians. #VerticalMRO #AirbusHelicopters #MRO

Precision, power, and collaboration: The future of military aviation is here. Get a glimpse into the future! Check out our 3D video showing the Airbus H225M helicopter and the Flexrotor UAS teaming up to neutralise a threat. This is achieved with the help of HTeaming - our modular crewed-uncrewed teaming solution, which allows operators to control uncrewed aircraft directly from the cockpit. This innovative technology extends their reach, enhances survivability, and defines the future of collaborative combat. Stay tuned for highlights from our military and UAS range next week as we kick off the second edition of MDays - our dedicated military conference in Marignane. We'll be demonstrating the vital role of our aircraft and uncrewed systems in supporting our customers' critical missions! #AirbusHelicopters #Helicopters #mDays #flexrotor #Marignane #teaming

The five-bladed Airbus H145 is making its mark in West Africa.  Having arrived in early 2025 and made its debut in Ivory Coast with the operator IAS (International Aircraft Services), it provides crucial support for offshore energy missions. Its main mission: transporting eight passengers - six days a week -  in up to four rotations daily. Where? To offshore energy platforms, located about 50 NM from the coast. Selected for its efficiency and versatility, the H145 is proving its value. Hugues Moreau, CEO and Alexandra Rotaru, Commercial Director give their feedback about its successful deployment.
